About this study
Attitudes among healthcare professionals can possibly affect the treatment given in cardiac arrest situations. The attitudes of healthcare professionals towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been poorly studied. The few existing previous international results shows attitudes reported by nurses as hesitation, fear of defibrillation, anxiety and fear of harming the patient.
The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes towards performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation among in-hospital healthcare professionals, furthermore to assess if experience in performing CPR has an effect on attitudes.
Read the detailed description
Data will be collected using questionnaires containing attitude questions. The questionnaires contains questions regarding attitudes towards being required to perform CPR (6 questions), previous experience in performing CPR (time since last performance and number of performances) and attitudes during the latest CPR performance (8 questions). All attitude questions are constructed as multiple choice questions.
Results regarding attitudes towards being required to perform CPR and attitudes during the latest CPR performance will be presented descriptively. To analyse a possible effect of time since CPR performance and number of CPR performances on attitudes during the latest CPR performance logistic regression will be used. Response variables will be "yes" or "no" on 8 specific attitude questions with predictors consisting of time since CPR performance (0-3 months ago, 4-23 months ago and >24 months) and number of CPR performances (1-3 times, 4-10 times and >10 times).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
In-hospital healthcare professionals' attitudes towards CPR.
14 questions regarding attitudes towards performing CPR will be presented descriptively. Number of respondents answering "yes", "no" and "I don´t know" to each attitude question will be presented.
Measured: one month
In-hospital healthcare professionals' experience in performing CPR.
Two questions regarding experience in performing CPR will be presented descriptively. Number of respondents in each response category concerning number of previous CPR performances and time since last CPR performance will be presented.
Measured: one month
Does experience in performing CPR have an effect on attitudes towards CPR
The effect of previous experience in CPR on attitudes during a cardiac arrest situation will be analysed using binary logistic regression. Each of the eight questions concerning attitudes during a cardiac arrest situation will serve as a dependent variable with "yes" as the response. Independent variables consists of number of previous CPR performances, time since last CPR performance and workplace. Independent variables associated with the dependent variable at a level of p <0.1 will be included in a multiple model. The model will be adjusted for profession and number of years in profession.
Measured: two months
